My apologies... I am sure plenty of people have installed the kit. My specific question is more directed at the specific caliper used in the link above which contains an ebrake. I am specifically asking if anyone has used this Cadillac caliper which contains a cable actuated ebrake and more specifically how did they hook up the cable to the caliper. The part I am having problem understanding is how you address the angle difference on the direction of pull on the cable. My application is on a 1985 where the pull is in line with the axle tube and the caliper shown in this kit the necessary actuation force is perpendicular to the axle tube. If anyone has or can snap a quick pic I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance

To further ask the question... how and/or what did you use to hook up the caliper ebrake. It appears there needs to be a cable extender and something to compensate for the direction change at the wheel. New cables? if so where did you get them and what ends were necessary. Mounting hardware on the caliper end etc. etc.
